SAVE OUR GREEN BELT - WITHDRAW THE LAND

On December 15th, 2016 Wirral Council refused planning permission for a fire station on green belt land on Saughall Massie Road, adjacent to sheltered accommodation at Woodpecker Close. The application was refused for various reasons, one of which was to protect the amenity of those residents who live in the sheltered accommodation, one of whom is a D Day veteran who has also been awarded Frances highest military honour, The Legion de Honor.

In 2014 the Leader of the Council withdraw a brownfield site in Greasby to protect a much loved green space.

We the petitioners now call on the Leader of the Council to treat the residents of Saughall Massie fairly and equitably and withdraw this green belt land from any future development. Withdrawing this land will also remove the stress, anxiety and worry from the elderly, and in some case infirm residents of Woodpecker Close.
